The prophets end with זכרו תורת משה. Remember the Law of Moses.
The Law of Moses is composed of several areas of value. One important area that is largely forgotten is character traits and the whole area of what is called בין אדם לחבירו obligations between man and his fellow man. This is the reason why Lithuanian Musar yeshivas are important.Because they strive for this balance.
What the religious world does is put all the emphasis on rituals and the worship of religious teachers. That means it is really a different religion than Torah.
Still that is not to say the ritual part of Torah is not also essential. One needs a balance.
